Title: Methods for detecting aneuploidy using microparticle multiplex detection
Inventor: WILDENBERG ANDREW PATRICK
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2004-07-02
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the detection and sorting of microparticles in a mixture of microparticles. The method of the present invention allows for the detection and sorting of many distinct microparticle classes. Detection and sorting is on the basis of microparticle size, the fluorescence spectrum of any attached reporter molecule, the fluorescence intensity of the reporter molecule, and the number of particles in each classification bin. These microparticle classes have particular applications in many genetic or biochemical multiplexing studies and especially as binding agents for the detection of aneuploidy in an organism or embryo of the organism. In humans, the detection and sorting of at least 24 classes of microparticles would be sufficient for a single tube method for the simultaneous detection of aneuploidy in all chromosomes, wherein each distinct microparticle class comprises a polynucleotide sequence complementary to, and specific for, a polynucleotide sequence that is unique to a particular human chromosome. Furthermore, using currently available technology, the present method has application for the simultaneous detection of aneuploidy in all chromosomes for an organism that has 216 or fewer pairs of chromosomes. Kits for the simultaneous detection of aneuploidy in one or more human chromosomes are also provided.

Title: A woven material comprising tape-like warp an dweft, and an apparatus and method for weaving thereof
Inventor: KHOKAR NANDAN
IPC: D03D15/46
Filed: 2006-01-17
Abstract: Novel woven materials, producible by a new weaving method, are described that comprise single or doubled warps and wefts in the form of tapes that are preferably partially stabilized type of fibrous tape. These fibres are caused to occur in a non-linear arrangement during the weaving process. The non-linear fibres can be subsequently straightened by pulling the tape longitudinally. The doubled warps and wefts comprise disconnected tapes. Such separateness of constituent tapes of doubled warp and weft tapes enables them to be slid/slipped relative to each other by pulling longitudinally and laterally without causing any alteration in the woven structure. These novel fabrics solve the problem of uneven fibre distribution and orientation arising from crumples/wrinkles due to compression and stretches due to extension, at the inner and outer sides respectively, when tape-woven fabrics are curved into shapes. Further, by using doubled warps and wefts fabrics with relatively flat/planar sections and thicker/raised wide rib sections can be also created that resemble a bit like a profiled material in its cross-section. Other fabrics like those comprising slant/oblique weft tapes, shaped warp and weft tapes, formed shape within its body are also producible.

IPC: G01N21/00
Filed: 1984-06-19
Abstract: Method for examining the content of a volume of biological sample containing particles to determine the diagnostic significance of that volume of biological sample. A number of aliquots of the sample are distributed and are examined under low power field magnification. The total number of aliquots examined under low power field magnification is a first fraction of the volume of biological sample. The number of particles detected in the first fraction is counted. The number of particles detected is compared to a first known total. In the event the comparison yields the result that the sample contains diagnostically insignificant number of particles, then the method is terminated. Otherwise the method is continued. A second fraction of volume of the biological sample, comprising a plurality of aliquots, is examined under high power field magnification. The number of particles detected under high power magnification is totalled. This is then compared to a second known total. The diagnostic significance of the biological sample is determined by the comparison of the second total number of particles  to the number of particles counted in the second fractional volume.
